Wow. Well, depending on how this ‘super fight’ turns out, this Conor lookalike could be really happy or sad with all this fanfare. Crazy the resemblance (sorta) and reactions though (definitely). Check out the clip above.

I was told on many occasions that I look very much like Conor McGregor, and, one day, I dared to baffle Los Angeles with a sudden appearance of the ‘UFC star.’ The news about Conor’s doppelganger made a lot of noise in the world of UFC and hit the headlines of major sources. So, today we are taking New York out for a spin, which turned out to be even more combustible than LA. We are big fans of Conor’s, and these pranks are dedicated to his upcoming fight with Floyd Mayweather. We wish him nothing but victory, health, and continuing domination over his rivals.

The fans wanted to see this fight… and it will be the biggest fight ever in the history of two people punching each other.
– UFC President Dana White

Respect for the sweet science or claims of cage fighting’s supremacy aside, Dana’s probably right. This fight has plenty of haters, each of its combatants have plenty of haters, and both boxing and UFC have haters. With that much hateration – and even more folks who follow either or both Mayweather and McGregor in the nation – this is another event to net Floyd triple figures easy!

And some pretty juicy scraps for everyone else involved.

Like it or love it (and Stephen A. will tell you which L he’s taking above, hahaa)… the fight is on! Hitting pay-per-view screens in August… It’s Showtime!

King Build-A-B!tch… BWAAAAAHAHAAA!! Floyd Mayweather is speaking on ALL topics and people – Pacquiao, Trump, Nelly, 50 Cent – no topic is off limits in this five-part series. Each part is about an hour-long. So many wowwww moments like:

Young Thug is extremely talented?Future was supposed to be signed to Mayweather?Mayweather Money ain’t like ‘other’ money; neither is his fashion. True Religion, Jordans, that’s for others.Traveling… Ibiza…. San Trope…. Floyd’s been there and all of there. Not impressed.To Kanye West: Keep up the good work …really misunderstood.It’s not all about the money… but he is ‘Money’ Mayweather.

Okay, in real life, file this fight in the never-ever-gonna-happen category. But this simulation is AWESOME! Oh… but what might happen… fans squabbling over the results. Watch. And LLLLLET’S GET READY TO… HAHAAAAAA!

Just saying, Stephen A. makes a good hedge mid-beginning of this clip: ‘In terms of anticipation‘ this will be the fight of a [quarter] century. Hope it lives up to that this weekend. Check out the often controversial, always outspoken Smith in this interview.

Never shy to speak his mind, ESPN host Stephen A. Smith joined Renada for an in depth discussion on the upcoming Mayweather/Pacquiao fight & reveals the real reason Mayweather is hated. He also explains why he wishes every Black American would vote Republican for one election; touches on NBA playoffs, Black athletes & more! A must watch!

It’s wild how I almost forgot that a young ‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd Mayweather before he was ‘Money Mayweather’, appeared in this ‘100 Rounds’ video from Raekwon’s sophomore album “Immobilarity.” A key thing I observed in replaying the video was scenes of Floyd Mayweather chopping wood as part of his early exercise routine. In a recent interview withStephen A. Smith he mentioned how he had to get back to the exercise he had all but abandoned prior to signing on to fight Manny Pacquiao in what will undoubtedly be the biggest fight of his career. Pretty Boy Floyd’s boxing record was 4-0 at the time the video was shot & his fellow boxing homie at the time, Zab Judah, also makes a cameo in the video as well. Raekwon definitely was ahead of his time in picking winners. If he’s feeling lucky out in Vegas he may want to put some down on Mayweather again. (Ghostface Voice) “Cash in son! Cash in!” Hahaaa….Wow! Funny how time flies man.

“I have to…because he’s not just any other fighter.” – Floyd Mayweather

Stephen A. Smith was able to pull some good insights from Floyd Mayweather in this ESPN ‘All Access’ episode. For one, Mayweather was NOT ducking the upcoming ‘fight of the century’ AND an important two, he is preparing for his bout with Manny Pacquiao harder than he has for anyone in quite some time. Chopping wood, going old school with training techniques and intensity like a ‘Rocky’ movie. Despite the expected bravado, Floyd is SERIOUS about this upcoming fight (this Saturday, May 2nd)!

Now, okay. Fair warning: Co-host Skip Bayless is going to throw shade at Floyd (ex: “Now I KNOW he’s going to lose”). Look past that though, he touches on concerns expressed by insiders and onlookers worldwide: Mayweather’s ‘bluster’ compensating for a real ‘fear’ of Pacquiao, being embarrassed into finally making the fight, otherwise risking a lackluster legacy (were he to retire never fighting an obvious contender for his titles), and advanced age (38 years old) as a boxer, among other things.

WATCH! Great episode. Good point brought up by guest Michael Rappaport later in this culled-together clip, too. Everyone should hope for a good fight with a clear winner; and that there will be no shenanigans (interruptions by parachuters, bad decisions by the judges, etc.).

Of course, we also get a look at the house, the million-dollar car collection… you know the ‘toys’ (fun, but SERIOUS blingage)!

Looks like the Fight everyone has wanted might happen. Mayweather has challenged Pacquiao to make the fight happen May 2nd 2015. Well since the last time they tried to make this fight happen Pac-Man has lost two fights so some of the luster is gone. Regardless this would be a blockbuster draw for Pay Per View. Check out what our friends over at BeatsBoxingMayhem have to say about it!

Jadakiss. Money Team affiliate and loyalist. Willing to trade jabs in a debate with Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless on ESPN’s First Take: On Floyd Mayweather’s recent fight with Marcos Maidana, how he’d do against Manny Pacquiao…

Starts slow and subdued, but Bayless really knows how to push buttons and get the debaters amped. Watch!

“These things matter so much that, when it came time to root against the Germans, America jumped behind Joe Louis’ Black ass!”

HAHAHAAAAA! It’s funny. People think I make everything about race, but I’ve had NO ONE tell me I was wrong on this one. Dude speaking TRUTH above. Things can get involved, violent even… race vs. race… culture vs. culture… around boxing events. And like he said, don’t get involved in the ‘fight after the fight’ … Your opponent will likely be fighting for the PRIDE OF A NATION! Funny and true. Admit it.

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. dropped by the Angie Martinez show to talk (part 1 above, more after the jump)… about his victory over Robert Guerrero, about 50 Cent, and about his upcoming fights, and more. Now that Floyd is out, and he and Manny are both still in the fight game, will they get that Pacquiao v. Mayweather fight to happen soon? Well…

Pound-for-pound boxing great Floyd Mayweather, Jr., tweeted ‘I had a great time with @jimmyfallon last night.’ The prince of new school late night having the talk-trash-and-back-it-up king make for great TV. Watch the ‘Late Night With Jimmy Fallon‘ clip for yourself.

Fiddy may be looking to take The Money Team into a new arena…a boxing arena. Seen often with his likely boxing promotion partner – flamboyant Floyd Mayweather, Jr., – 50 Cent apparently looks to go platinum as a promoter of pugilism (say that five times fast). Word has it that TMT (short for The Money Team) Promotions expects to sign former featherweight title holder Yuriorkis Gamboa and super middleweight contender Andre Dirrell. None of this is official, but Nevada state athletic commissioner Keith Kizer says TMT is applying for a license in the state. – Chris Mannix, si.comRead the rest of this entry »

Manny Pacquiaolost a split decision fight last night to undefeated fighterTimothy Bradley who advances to a 29-0 record with 12 Knockouts. Although I won a wager with several friends last night when I picked the 5-1 odds underdog to beat Pacman, I was surprised just like anyone else when it was announced that Bradley won the fight by a split decision. Although I felt Bradley held his own, it was pretty evident that Pacman was in control of things. The fight that everyone REALLY wants to see is the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao fight, but it’s likely to never happen after this point. For those that aren’t aware promoter Bob Arum represents both Pacquiao & Bradley so with last night’s loss it sets the stage for an obvious rematch for sometime in November. I believe it’s all a ploy to avoid any contest with Mayweather for a possible big-time fight in November. We have have to face reality that it’s never going to happen. The video above maybe the closest Boxing fans will ever get to see in terms of a Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight if we simply did it by the numbers.

This is part 2 of a previous interview with Floyd “Money” Mayweather & in this segment he speaks more on the possible Pacquiao fight, the support from his fans, his career, & his outward support for other black fighters in the business.

This is straight hilarious!!! Personally I don’t believe Floyd Mayweather is afraid of anyone, but you do have to be smart when fighting a potential opponent who is alleged to be using performance enhancing drugs. If I was Floyd Mayweather I’d make every fighter I was poised to compete against take a drug test like I’ve always done. Why should Manny Pacquiao be any different? It’s called doing your due dilligence & this is more about business than it is about Floyd Mayweather being afraid of fighting anyone. The Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao debates are constantly being argued in the barbershops, in the gyms, at the office watercooler, & even on sports & hip hop radio shows. Floyd Mayweather called in to Sirius XM’s Shade 45 channel to speak with Rude Jude about his disparaging comments about him. This heated exchange on the radio between Floyd Mayweather & Rude Jude is hilarious though….
